How to Win a Breakup: A Novel by Farah Heron

5.0

Fake boyfriend, Jealous Ex, Secret Identities, High School Shenanigans, Math Genius gamer MC, Family, and Friendship.

These and so much more are what you'd find in How to Win a Breakup. Samaya is trying to get over the fact that Devin dumped her right before summer camp, and now school is back in session. How will Samaya cope when Devin returns from India but is now dating Samaya's friend?

Then she meets Daniel, who is supposed to be her online gaming friend, but isn't. One thing I loved about this book was the reverse grumpy sunshine trope. We constantly see the male MC in books as grumpy, but this time, that wasn't the case, and it brought all the emotions you could think of, lol. Because he wasn't portrayed as the stereotypical male, Daniel was such a unique and adoring character. Apart from being a hockey player, he loved baking and was kind to everyone he encountered. And he loved to love, despite the number of parameters set.
